Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this hard-hitting and timely book, Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich challenge those who downplay the reality and importance of global environmental problems with appealing but misleading rhetoric. Such efforts to undermine and misinterpret environmental data, labeled the brownlash by the Ehrlichs, prolong an already difficult search for solutions and are deeply disturbing to environmental scientists. In Betrayal of Science and Reason, the Ehrlichs contrast anti-environmental rhetoric with the consensus view of the scientific community, tackling head-on such issues as population growth, desertification, food production, global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and biodiversity loss. They also offer a unique glimpse into how science works, and they discuss how scientists can speak out on matters of societal urgency yet retain the support of the scientific community. This book provides an eye-opening look at current environmental problems and the fundamental importance of the scientific process in solving them. It presents unique insight into the sources and implications of anti-environmental rhetoric, and it provides readers with a valuable means of understanding and refuting the feel-good fables that constitute the brownlash. …

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xiii, [1], 335, [3] p. Notes. Index. From Wikipedia: "Paul Ralph Ehrlich (born May 29, 1932) is an American biologist and educator who is the Bing Professor of Population Studies in the department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University and president of Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology. By training he is an entomologist specializing in Lepidoptera (butterflies), and published a landmark paper about the evolution of plants and insects. He is also a prominent ecologist and demographer. Ehrlich is best known for his dire warnings about population growth[4] and limited resources. Ehrlich became well-known after publication of his controversial 1968 book The Population Bomb. In years since, some of his predictions have developed in less alarming ways than originally forecast, with population growth rates slowing (though annual net growth is still very high) and new technologies of food production based on the use of fossil fuels for fertilizer, harvesting and transport. Ehrlich's theories have been widely criticized by those who focus on anthropocentric measures of progress, such as GDP. He stands by his general thesis that the human population is too large and is a direct threat to human survival and the environment of the planet." Very good in very good dust jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 348 pages. Ex-library. Inscription on front end page/inside cover. Despite widespread public support for environmental protection, a backlash ag ainst environmental policies is developing. Fueled by outright distortions of fa ct and disregard for the methodology of science, this backlash appears as an out pouring of seemingly authoritative opinions by so-called experts in books, artic les, and appearances on television and radio that greatly distort what is or is not known by environmental scientists. Through relentless repetition, the flood of anti-environmental sentiment has acquired an unfortunate aura of credibility, and is now threatening to undermine thirty years of progress in defining, under standing, and seeking solutions to global environmental problems.In this hard-hi tting and timely book, world-renowned scientists and writers Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich speak out against what they call the brownlash. Brownlash rhe toric, created by public relations spokespersons and a few dissident scientists, is a deliberate misstatement of scientific findings designed to support an anti -environmental world view and political agenda. As such, it is deeply disturbing to environmental scientists across the country. The agenda of brownlash propone nts is rarely revealed, and the confusion and distraction its rhetoric creates a mong policymakers and the public prolong an already difficult search for realist ic and equitable solutions to global environmental problems.In Betrayal of Scien ce and Reason, the Ehrlichs explain clearly and with scientific objectivity the empirical findings behind environmental issues including population growth, dese rtification, food production, global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and bi odiversity loss. They systematically debunk revisionist truths such as: popula. …
